It's not that DA2 was a bad game, it's that it was a significant departure from the original. IMO, it was greatly simplified to a degree that I consider marginalized compared to a pre-EA Bioware RPG experience.

ME2 was such a mixed experience for me, that I still can't bring myself to try ME3, despite enjoying the original immensely.

The latest series EA has ruined for me is Dead Space; 3 is a pathetic joke.
